"I was so impressed with the RISE training presented to our staff by Ms. Renika Atkins! Renika gave us wonderful resources for our students, but more importantly, she taught us helping strategies for working with former foster care students so that we can make sure we are empowering them and not enabling them. Being a former foster youth herself, Renika has first-hand experience with how to overcome the odds and develop resilience, so I really respected what she had to say."- Christine Norton PhD, LCSW
